LACP over wan

michal.adam · ‎08-15-2012

Hi i have this situation.

I have EPL on my MPLS.

Our are cisco stacks.

and routers are ISP provider and i don't have any chance doing with them.

I don't know how much routers are on the way

In the one DC is 3750X stack on the other DC is 3750X stack between them is LACP protocol.But if the line is break on the way i don't shutdown on my cisco stack and i must wait 1,5minutes then LACP detect broke line and redirect traffic to the other line.

On the 3750X is impossible change LACP timeout.

I think that the solution is IP SLA and ICMP responder between mgmt ip adresss and shutdown interface.But the ICMP traffic go across one line based on hash.

Do you have Any idea?I know the solution is STP but it is the last chance

Are you running etherchannel? You coudl for example configure Flex links

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12.2_58_se/configuration/guide/swflink.html

Or a routing protocol, all these guarantee fast convergence. But Not IP SLA.

thank you i try Flex Links, but it doesn't work.CDP it works, but no ICMP or other traffic

Routing protocol is imposible it must be L2

And is it configuration correct?

Stack1 (one Data center)

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/10

description ***Trunk to SCVK***

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

switchport backup interface Gi2/0/10

interface GigabitEthernet2/0/10

description ***Trunk to SCVK***

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport mode trunk

Stack2 (other data center)

Configuration without change ?

Configuration Flex link is only on one stack?

With this configuration i Have this

vvlansw51 Gig 2/0/10 132 S I WS-C3750X Gig 1/1/1

vvlansw51 Gig 1/0/10 162 S I WS-C3750X Gig 2/1/1
